Reed galls serve as an underestimated but critically important resource for an assemblage of aculeate hymenopterans

Original language description

Common reed (Phragmites australis) beds are frequently considered as aggressive and invasive, being subject to numerous conservation management efforts aimed at their eradication by repeated mowing or more aggressive measures. However, the reed beds areassociated with a specific community of reed bed specialists, represented typically by various bird flagship species or by Lipara flies. We show here that the reed beds and particularly the reed galls induced by Lipara flies provide unique habitat serving at least 183 bee and wasp species (amounting to 13.6% of the total bee and wasp species known to occur in the Czech Republic, throughout which the sampling sites were located). The reed galls themselves were found to host 13 species of bees and wasps,five of them red-listed, and some of them considered as reed bed specialists. Pemphredon fabricii and Hylaeus pectoralis were the dominant reed gall aculeate hymenopteran inquilines. Hylaeus moricei, Passaloecus clypealis, Rhopalum gracil
